Split extended supersymmetry from intersecting branes

I. Antoniadis, K. Benakli, A. Delgado +2

We study string realizations of split extended supersymmetry, recently proposed in hep-ph/0507192. Supersymmetry is broken by small () deformations of intersection angles of …

Planar Quantum Mechanics: an Intriguing Supersymmetric Example

G. Veneziano, J. Wosiek

After setting up a Hamiltonian formulation of planar (matrix) quantum mechanics, we illustrate its effectiveness in a non-trivial supersymmetric example. The numerical and analytic…

First Measurement of Charged Current Cross Sections at HERA with Longitudinally Polarised Positrons

H1 Collaboration

Data taken with positrons of different longitudinal polarisation states in collision with unpolarised protons at HERA are used to measure the total cross sections of the charged cu…

The first-level trigger of ATLAS

Johannes Haller

Due to the huge interaction rates and the tough experimental environment of pp collisions at a centre-of-mass energy sqrt(s)=14TeV and luminosities of up to 10^34 cm^-2 s^-1, one o…

CP Violation in the B System: Status and Perspectives

Robert Fleischer

In this decade, the exploration of CP violation is governed by the B-meson system, where non-leptonic decays play an outstanding role. To set the stage, we have first a look at the…

Search for Gauginos and Gauge Mediated SUSY Breaking Scenarios at LEP

Gabriella Pasztor

Data collected by the OPAL detector at LEP up to the highest energies of 209 GeV are analyzed to search for evidence of supersymmetric (SUSY) particle production. Chargino pair-pro…

Observable (?) cosmological signatures of superstrings in pre-big bang models of inflation

M. Gasperini, S. Nicotri

The different couplings of the dilaton to the U(1) gauge field of heterotic and Type I superstrings may leave an imprint on the relics of the very early cosmological evolution. Wor…

Highlights of the B-Physics Landscape

Robert Fleischer

The exploration of the quark-flavour sector of the Standard Model is one of the hot topics in particle physics of this decade. In these studies, which show a fruitful interplay bet…

Stability of lattice QCD simulations and the thermodynamic limit

L. Del Debbio, L. Giusti, M. Lüscher +2

We study the spectral gap of the Wilson--Dirac operator in two-flavour lattice QCD as a function of the lattice spacing , the space-time volume and the current-quark mass $m…

On supersymmetry and other properties of a class of marginally deformed backgrounds

Rafael Hernandez, Konstadinos Sfetsos, Dimitrios Zoakos

We summarize our recent work on supergravity backgrounds dual to part of the Coulomb branch of N=1 theories constructed as marginal deformations of N=4 Yang-Mills. In particular, w…

Sliding Rings and Spinning Holes

Iosif Bena, Chih-Wei Wang, Nicholas P. Warner

We construct smooth supergravity solutions describing a BPS black ring with a BPS black hole centered at an arbitrary distance above the ring. We find that as one moves the black h…
